I know what you mean. I got banded 4 years ago and lost 100 pounds and am embarresed to say I have gained it all back. I have been struggeling with it for a while now and have lost 16 pounds and am trying to get back on track. I plan to call tomorrow and get an appointment to see my doctor and the nutritionist to get a well need refresher to make sure I know the right things so I am successful. I am going to Disney World for my 18th wedding anniversary (and my son's school marching band is also going to be in a parade while there) and I want to fit on the rides. Last time there I had to get off some of the rides because I didn't fit. that isn't happening this time. I am glad to be back on the site to get some incuregment to get back on the wagon. Good lucki to those also off the wagon and trying to get back on it.
